Nominations for the Albert O. Hirschman Prize will be accepted until February 1. The prize recognizes academic excellence in international, interdisciplinary social science research, theory, and public communication.

SSRC recently co-hosted a conference in Singapore on "Inter-Asian Connections," focusing on ways to move beyond the territorial limitations of area-studies research without discounting the importance of contextually grounded, place-based knowledge.
